But if it's not JSON it's still going to be some SerDe. Is there another format that's enough of a factor faster that it means we should rewrite all of our stacks? In other words, the developer's time vs throwing more hardware at it.

Yes, any binary format is going to be dramatically faster than JSON. IIRC JSON was the bottleneck in k8s at one point so it was replaced with protobufs.
